Remind by itself is not particularly designed for this; it would
have to be done by helper scripts or a front-end program.

In the limiting case, a nice GUI or curses-based front-end would only
use Remind for date calculation and triggering and would store event
data and meta-data somewhere else.  Your .reminders file would
end up looking something like:

REM ... MSG 538413d7-f243-464f-85f3-9101728a23b9

and the front-end would take care of retrieving the real reminder data
based on the unique ID.

This is far beyond what the scripts that ship with Remind do.

David.
